Ok i spoke with my friend and he said that although WALD has a good reputation it still require a lot of work to make it fit right i.e. cutting, sanding, drilling, ext. He also said that for the half of the price, which is $2500 as RendyMarsono mentioned, you could get a Replica of WALD Black Bison for the W219 CLS. Since shop, which will be installing it still have to do all this cutting and sanding. However, you can save yourself around $1200.
Here is manual from WALD for the front bumper installation. I circled text where it tells you how much cutting require and at the top right corner what really turns me off: Use calking glue to fill the gap between the product and the body…
Just my thoughts

Hello.
It's true what you said. Adjustments still needed. Which is why my WALD comes pre-fitted so only minimal work is needed for a perfect fit.

It was done this way because if the fog light is removed completely, star diagnosis has to be used in order to tell the car that it no longer has fog lights and my panel shop doesn't have access to that machine so that was chosen as an easier alternative.

Well, technically, the standard bumper bars sit on these brackets and support. In my own experience, some of these support were glued on, some are clipped and others were stuck on there using god knows what. They were removed from the original AMG bars for use on the WALD ones.

Typically, whenever you buy bodykits or bumper bar covers, they come bare and you would use the existing ones from your car. If you sold your OEM bars to someone else, they would need to use the brackets that were fitted on their bars.
So yes, the OEM bars are still usable especially for AMG ones (I personally sold mine) but again the buyer would have to use their OEM brackets to fit the bars.
